We built the jeep at ride height. I cut the upper pan hard bracket to fit with the numbers. I guess missing the oil pan was a bonus on the first try.
 I'll keep an eye on it but will need to order another one to get it to mount in a lower hole. Thanks for the input

After some prying and pulling was able to split the 249 and get out the input and planetary. The 231 was a lot easier to split. It already had a 6 gear planetary that I could use with my input shaft. Cleaned it up and put it back together. Hope to put it up in the jeep in the next few days
Thanks to huntingmatt418 joe and rolf |

Had to order the transfer case to trans studs. I couldn't get the ones out of my 249. So the new case to go in this week.
Got the disk brakes on the 14 bolt. |

Cut the fenders last night. I like the back but rethinking the front. Got some inner fender area to cut out and rebox in the front behind the head lights. The battery box and air box will need moved. Thanks to the guys who came and hung out yesterday

Ordered a custom fuel cell from RCI. It is the 30*12*9 but I had them not put in the sending unit or pick up lines on it. I bought a fuel cell adapter ring from genright that uses the stock jeep sender with the In tank pump and regulator.

A few pics of the fender and door on the passenger side after the cut. I started the fill in process. After a lot of trimming and fitting I got the fill in piece to fit and filled. Not to bad since I hadn't ever worked sheet metal before.

Got the genright adapter ring installed tonight. I used a ΒΌ" drill bit for the holes and a jig saw with a metal blade for the big hole. I also put masking tape down to protect the cell.
 The gasket maker I used. Seemed thin but got sticky quick  Put together  If anyone uses this adapter put the gasket in the adapter NOT on the sender. Ask me how I know. :mad: All installed

Been trying to get back at it after the holidays and cold weather. Got the inner fender on passenger side almost done.
 Rough fit  Also got all the fittings and steering column adapter. Hope to finish all of the steering up soon.

Got the fender well welded in
 All boxed in  Cut the trim panel to fit. Don't know if I like where the pocket was since I had to cut it out. O well I want to have the trim in. At least from behind the seatbelt forward.

Got the jeep spun around in the garage this past weekend. Now I can start on the driver side rear fender.
Took a break on the fenders to work on the steering a little bit. Got the new pump. Made templates for the orbital mount. Plan on using the steering gear mounting holes to bolt the mount to the frame  And cut the steering shaft so it will slip in and out. It was pressed at the stock length. Grinded off the pressed part and now it slips Stock length 21"  Collapsed to 16"  Also had to file a little on the inner shaft cause it had some kind of a coating that made it to tight to slip easy.

Got the bracket for the orbital made up. It was harder than I thought it would be to fit it in there. It ended making the steering shaft a little closer to the header than I wanted but ended up good. If I would have angled it the orbital lines would have ran close to the belt.
The reason for the bracket. The unibody has an offset where the steering box was.  Test fit   All mounted up    Ran wire for the lengths of the hydro lines. Got them all mocked up.   May run this one in front of the upper bracket. But there is more room than it looks.

Back on the fenders. Got the fuel door opening closed up. The opening had a rolled lip that made it easy to fit the filler piece in and weld. I completely welded the outside and put a lot of tacks on the inside on that lip.
 The inside

Got the rear fenders done. The trim panel is trimmed.
 How I think I'm going to set the tank. To keep room for the batteries. If they don't fit on the other side I'll center the tank.  Passenger side  When I get my battery boxes I'll see if they fit in the extra space. If not I'll back up and punt and try something else with them.

All fenders are reboxed and painted.
Pass side engine bay. I plan on a high amp junction box for the hot leads.   And some fun stuff begins  Started laying out the winch plate and how to mount it. All the exo cage will tie in at the bumper and stinger in front.   Also got all the steering lines made at a local shop. Great prices and good people. Eagle equipment in franklin.

That winch plate looks like it sits kinda low but i guess your rig sits a lot higher than mine. My winch plate will be even with the top of the bumper cover to maintain as much approach angle as possible. I might have it mounted by June if I'm lucky......
Still a real good looking build, hope we can get the twins together sometime this year?
